Ugh. Please don't post html and text to this list.  Please post just
text.=20

Make sure your srm console "console" enviroment matches reality.
It sounds like your console is set to serial & you're using a graphics=20=

head.  Use "show console" to check for this.


So do:

>>> set console graphics
>>> init
<...>
>>> show console
graphics
>>> boot dka500 (or wherever your cd is..)


BTW: Linux "works" because it is broken & ignores the setting of this
variable.

Cheers,

Drew
